  1. The Panther was a German medium tank (although its weight was closer to the classification of a heavy tank. However, it’s high power-to-weight ratio meant it was extremely mobile) built and used during the second World War along both the Eastern and Western fronts from mid-1943 to the wars end in 1945. It was officially designated as Panzerkampfwagen V Panther until February 27, 1944, when Hitler ordered the Roman numeral “V” be removed. The Panther is often considered one of the best tanks in World War 2, with excellent firepower and protection, even if its reliability was less than stellar. Indeed, it had the same engine as the Tiger I, but with more efficient frontal armor and better gun penetration, along with being lighter and faster and being able to traverse rough terrain more easily. The trade-off was its weak side armor, making it vulnerable to flanking. It also suffered several technical difficulties due to being rushed into the war, although they because less prevalent as time went on. Tank crews consisted of a commander, a driver, a gunner, a loader, and a radio operator who doubled as a machine gunner. The Panther had a 7.5 cm gun, which was among the most powerful weapons of World War 2, due to its large propellant charge and long barrel. It held a supply of 40 anti-tank rounds and 39 high explosive shells, along with two MG 34 machine guns with and 5,100 rounds of ammo. Altogether, the Panther weighed 44.8 tons. Although 6000 Panther tanks were made by the Germans, interestingly, nine were made by the British army. Indeed, one of their strengths was their ease and cost of manufacturing. The French and Russian armies also used them when they could, although the latter often abandoned the tanks whenever they broke down, finding them too complex and not worthwhile to repair. As you can see, the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther was one of the best tanks in World War 2. However, its name had to come from somewhere, and to that, we look too... ...Actual panthers. Interestingly, the word simply refers to any large cat species. Black panthers refer to the melanistic color variant, while white panthers refer to big cats with pale or albino fur. In Asia and Africa, panthers are called leopards, while in the America, they are called jaguars, and there is a subspecies of both called cougars. Panthers are great swimmers and are one of the strongest tree climbing cats, often pouncing on their prey from 20 feet away from a tree. They also have a strong jaw, as well as good eyesight and excellent hearing. Their fur makes it difficult to spot in the wild, especially at night. Although extremely rare, there actually are black panthers living in the wild in the state of Florida. And last, but most certainly not least, there’s Marvel’s Black Panther, who recently had a movie release this year. The king of the fictional nation Wakanda, T’Challa is a brilliantly intelligent scientist and inventor, and is rigorously trained in both acrobatics and hand-to-hand combat. Having eaten the heart shaped herb, he has access to the previous Black Panthers memories and experiences, as well as increased strength, speed, durability, and senses. He also wears a vibranium suit, made of the same material as Captain America's famous indestructible shield, and isn't afraid to use a wide variety of technology on missions. Created in 1966 in a Fantastic Four comic by legendary comic writers Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Black Panthers name predates the formation of the infamous Black Panther party, which was noted by Lee to be a “strange coincidence” (the character was temporarily renamed The Panther or Black Leopard for a while, although this change was short-lived). Mostly appearing in solo adventures with the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, it wasn't until Jungle Action #5 that the character had a story focused on him. Pioneering the self-contained, multi-issue story structure, the series was critically acclaimed, even if sales were low. Since then, Black Panther has had his own series, penned by several different people over the years, with perhaps Christopher Priests run being the most well-known. Given that the Black Panther is a title that must be earned, several others have taken up the mantle, including Kasper Cole,Eric Killmonger, Shuri, and, hilariously, Everett Ross. T’Challa also married the super-heroine and mutant Storm in a highly publicized event. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Chadwick Boseman, and debuted in Captain America: Civil War in a 2016. There's also this dastard: ... This is my first ever shite post. Tried to do something a little clever. YMWV on whether or not it is, of course. I spent more hours than I'm willing to admit, although less than I originally thought I would, creating this whole thing. And trust me, if this weren't a FftF thing, I would be much, much more stingy about avoiding plagairism. As it is, yes, I did copy word for word (although I didn’t copy-paste (except once or twice)) information from wikipedia, as well as these sites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panther_tank https://www.warhistoryonline.com/military-vehicle-news/top-25-facts-about-the-panther_tank.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_panther http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/animals/panther.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_(comics) https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ComicBook/BlackPanther Despite this being a FftF thing and altogether a shite post, FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ANYTHING I GOT WRONG! I also listened to Corneria-Star Fox Zero Music Extended while writing this, in case you were wondering. And the Main Theme for Smash Ultimate. And the Warthog Run from Halo 3. And the Theme of Ryu-Street Fighter 5 Music Extended. And Danse Macabre, which I actually memorized and played during marching band season of my senior year of high school. I could play it so fast I was nicknamed “the Flash”. I also won a game of Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars while this song was blaring. And finally, all the Wild Dog Themes from Time Crisis.
